- Ferran Torres signed for PSG from Barcelona on a deal until 2031 for a reported fee of about €50m (£42.7m), joining the French champions just weeks after scoring the extra-time winner against Argentina in the men's World Cup final.
- Torres scored 21 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions for Barcelona last season and helped the club win La Liga.
- PSG, managed by former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique, have won the Champions League in each of the past two seasons and added the Uefa Super Cup on Wednesday by beating Aston Villa 2-1.
- Torres is the second high-profile forward PSG have signed this summer after Maghnes Akliouche arrived from Monaco, and has 25 goals in 65 caps for Spain, having made his national-team debut under Enrique.
- PSG could lose forward Bradley Barcola this summer, with Liverpool among the clubs interested in the Frenchman.
Why it matters: PSG, the reigning European champions, are spending roughly €50m on a player their manager Luis Enrique already knows from his Spain tenure, reinforcing an already dominant squad. The club is simultaneously entertaining a potential Barcola exit to Liverpool, suggesting Torres is being lined up as both depth and a possible replacement.
